Crazzzzyyyyy!!

Wheeewwwwwww! It's been a crazy few days!

My brother-in-law, Shane, decided to paint his and Lauren's bedroom, bathroom, and closet this past Saturday! Of course, Mike was (and still is!) there to help!! Mike even took a day off from work yesterday to help - what a sweet man I'm married to! It has only been Mike and Shane working on this project! The only thing we didn't realize is that it would take 4 days (and counting) to get it done! LOL!! On Saturday, we went over there and helped them move every single thing out of those 3 areas. The only place to put the stuff was their kitchen and in Brandon's bedroom. So, Brandon didn't have a place to sleep. And, since Lauren is pregnant, she doesn't need to be breathing in the paint fumes... so we have been having a big ole' family sleepover since Saturday night! THEN, Monday Shane decided that while everything was pulled out of the bedroom, that he wanted to pull out the old carpet in there and have new carpet put in!

It's been kinda crazy, but fun at the same time. It's been a longggg time since Lauren and I "lived" together... it's kind of like when we were kids... except for how we have to do the cooking and cleaning and take care of 4 kids! LOL! Anyway...I really like having her around ... she is truly my best friend!! We share a special "twin bond!"

As we "speak" their room is still a "work in progress... and I'm sure it's gonna look great when it's done!

It HAS been fun having them around. But I think the stress of it all is getting to Lauren. This kind of thing is hard on any woman, but even more so when you're pregnant, and have a sick child. But it's almost over, and will be gorgeous when it is finished. I think Shane was putting things back in place tonight, so maybe it is coming to an end.
I am so glad you have been there for her, as usual. You are such a nurturer, always there to help out and be supportive. I am so proud of you for that!
Love, Mom
